Meta has launched Meta One, a bundled subscription that pairs paid social-app features with increased Meta AI usage, with the company saying the bundles are available globally from today.

Consumer bundles ship in two tiers: Core at $7.99 a month and Premium at $19.99 a month. Creator and business plans run from $14.99 to $499 a month.

The packages combine Instagram Plus, WhatsApp Plus and Facebook Plus, alongside higher AI generation allowances. Meta says the core experience of each app remains free.

What subscribers get

The offering folds social conveniences into an AI upsell. These include 48-hour Instagram stories, a bold follow button, verified badges and impersonation monitoring.

Meta tested the idea earlier this year. The Verge says the bundle is a few dollars cheaper than subscribing to the three apps separately.

Room to grow

Meta said it will expand the bundles over time, adding features such as Edits and perks tied to its AI glasses.

The approach positions the company to layer paid AI and hardware extras on top of its ad-supported services.
